Firefly (2002)
Unusual Cancellation Circumstances
Firefly is one of the only shows ever to be deliberately sabotaged by its own network. What appeared at the time to have been gross incompetence on the part of Fox' scheduling department (the episodes were never even broadcast in correct order) now seems to have been a deliberate tantrum by network executives that had expected Whedon to deliver another vampire show. Even with all the damage done by the self-validating Nielsen system, this particular cancellation tragedy had little to do with actual ratings. On the contrary, it had such a huge following at the time of cancellation, the last two episodes of the first season were converted into a feature film--pretty amazing for a show no one saw (completely) first-run.
SeaQuest DSV: Playtime (1994)
Horrible Anti-Science
Possibly the worst script in a show known for mediocre story lines, ludicrous both from the standpoint of physics and biology.
A. Time will not cease to exist when our species becomes extinct. The world got along just fine for billions of years before we came along, and it will go on long after we are gone.
B. Two people cannot reestablish a population. The only reproductive partners for their children would be siblings. I found this part of the story VERY OFFENSIVE.
It is really depressing that so much time and effort would be put into filming such perverse ignorance.
